Rev. James Parkin

Profile & Legacies Summary

???? - 1812

Biography

English clergyman, and trustee of John Price of Penzance the younger (q.v). He and his fellow trustees were described by Craton and Walvin as 'London merchants' (and given as 'James Perkins') and implicitly presented as creditors, but this characterisation appears misleading. His will certainly gives no indication of man with a beneficial share in a mortgage of £30,000.
